Bread can strengthen your heart

The Bible says that bread strengthens the heart (see Psalms 104:14-15). In modern times, however, in order to keep bread lasting longer, Vitamin E, Lecithin, and the Omega 3 fatty acids are removed from the wheat and replaced with white flour. Now, bread can last for months. Subsequently, more and more people are dying from heart attacks and circulation problems.

God made bread to strengthen the heart. In its original state, the ingredients keep the heart strong and the circulation system working correctly. Bread is one of the many examples of how God designed His creation to take care of us.

GENO: In lots of store bought bread the oils have been added back in…but they are not natural anymore. The breads will begin to mold after a week or two. But the breads that are made on a mass scale such as the ones you find at McDonalds on your burger or at fast food joints are exactly what is being described here. A majority of people in this country are eating those breads. GOOGLE: “mcdonalds happy meal experiment” A bread machine won’t give you the best bread. Buy an electric grinder for your wheat, then make the bread with that.

It’s difficult to find flour that has not been stripped of these nutrients. We used to make our own bread all the time until the ingredients got too expensive nad did not justify the cost. We have had store bread last more than a month if stored correctly. Putting it in the fridge will make it last even longer.

My wife mills our wheat in an electric grinder like Zach mentioned and makes our bread from that… it’s so good hot out of the oven with butter! Although, I’m not sure how good the butter is for your heart…

Jeff, my wife tells me the price of almost all groceries has gone up a bunch in the last few years.. she said she can make bread for around $1.50 a loaf.

1. Still no clarification on quotes Kent claims Sir Arthur Keith made several years after the man died.

2. Eric: “Socialism is the result of evolutionary thinking”

Can you explain this, given that the closest economic system to evolution is undeniably free-market capitalism. In fact, the phrase “survival of the fittest” was originally coined to apply to free-market capitalism, where only the successful companies thrive, and the failures are allowed to die off and go bust.

Oh man, God bless you Kent! I admire you as a faithful servant of God. Hence, the a tini, tiny hair doesn’t fall out, with out the will of God, therefore everything that happens, happens for a reason… Stay strong in faith!

Stephen Holshouser, you asked for people other that Christ who had given a lot, and then complained when people gave you philanthropic Christians. If you’d wanted philanthropic atheists you should have asked.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are both atheists who have given billions (regardless of the merits of Windows!). Andrew Carnegie was also an atheist, who created public libraries, universities (Carnegie Mellon) and arts venues such as Carnegie Hall. There are many more. Just google philanthropic atheists…

I think you’ll find that the increase in Heart Attacks is not down to bread, but down to a high sugar, high fat diet and lack of exercise. Stress also plays a huge part in heart attacks. Yet what you’ve implied is that heart attacks are purely down to what bread we eat which is utterly wrong. There’s more to it than that.

You really expected any real substance andrew???

Seriously beyond quib and jabs what did you expect? INSIGHT!?!?!

Here’s another from Stephen Holshouser:

Jack the Napper,

“You can always spot a creationist (or a hick) because they use poor language like “life from non-life”.”

FACEPALM

You can always spot an evolutionist because they believe that life came from non-life and hate when creationists point it out.

Unfortunately the thread close before I read this. I’m sure Stephen was kicking himself after clicking submit but thankful I couldn’t respond. Why; because my response would have been something like…

And you can always spot a Creationist’s inability to grasp what Pasteur had meant (which may be due to the hick-style translation). The statement of “life from non-life” deals with spontaneous generation of FULLY FORMED ORGANISMS. Maggots from meat or mice from grain. In actuality it does more to disprove the notion of God poofing things into existence.

I’m wondering Kent if you have something new to add to any discussion or if you simply cut and paste things from you seminars.

If you’re son had bothered to watch those YouTube videos by DonExodus2, ExtantDodo or other we suggested on his blog he would have been able to save you from the throngs of FACEPALMS (GOOGLE: Critical Analysis of Kent Hovind’s Garden of Eden)

What next? Are you gonna tells us how to cure cancer with CYANIDE? Perhaps more confusion over deficiencies or disease?

One more for the road. GOOGLE: Gary Null is the Kent Hovind of Alternative Medicine.

You said, “Stephen Holshouser, you asked for people other that Christ who had given a lot, and then complained when people gave you philanthropic Christians. If you’d wanted philanthropic atheists you should have asked.”

No, I didn’t ask for “people other than Christ who had given a lot.” I asked if John could name ANY person that has done MORE good for humanity than Jesus Christ, there’s a big difference. The answer is so obvious, it is almost a rhetorical question. Any attempt to name someone better than Jesus just makes that person appear foolish, although that was not the purpose; the purpose was simply to illustrate the beauty of Christ.

I don’t deny that there are some very wealthy atheists who give to charity, and it’s no skin off their back. Although I would bet that there are very, very few atheists of average means who give anything at all to charity, why would they? But shall I explain how Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Andrew Carnegie could not have been who they are/were without the Person and life of Jesus Christ, or do you concede that point?

I just want you to consider the Lord Jesus Christ and His spotless life, His actions, His words, His power, His love, His death and resurrection and then see your need of Him. How could a man do what He did except He be the actual Son of God fulfilling all righteousness by His life and then satisfying the justice of God by His death for those of us who need it?

I am very much informed on how our culture has stripped many foods from their original state to a processed version. That is the society we live in. its sad that were are dealing with lots of health concerned due to the state of our food. It’s not just bread. We live in a sugar addicted County. White bread turns into sugar. We are way over preserved. Gods plan for us was never to eat the crap we all created. This has renewed my resolve to eat healthier. I eat a ton less processed food than most. Lets get back down to the basics. Don’t you just love the smell of fresh baked bread?

Wheat is almost the perfect food, and for that matter bread. No wonder then that the bible assosiates bread with life. (john6:48/51).

Just like veggies, nuts and fruit use to be like sweets – containing vitamin c- that was until consentrated and refined suger were marketed. Basically stripped from its vitamin C in the refining process.

A few hundred years ago the average person in Europe would eat 3 or 4 pounds of sugar a year. today most people eat over 100 pounds of it. It is not surprising that low blood sugar and diabetes are modern diseases.

As Oom(Uncle) Kent states that bread has been robbed of some of its natural ingrediants.

There are more than a hundred elements in the ground,organic and inorganic. Man’s body is composed primarily of 16 living elements. Those 16 elements are supplied from food grown out of the ground.

The 16 organic elements come in two forms – acid & alkaline. 12 of the elements are alkaline (like iron, calcium, magensiam and potassium). The other 4 elemts are carbohydrates ( like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen).

The body requires two to three times as much of the alkaline elements, yet bread consists of two to three times as much of the carbohydrates.

One grain of wheat contains all 16 life sustaining elements in perfect ballanced preportions.

The problem with bread in this modern “educated” world is that most of it is made from white flour. White flour is made by stripping most of the twelve alkaline elements from the wheat grain, thus leaving the white flour with only the 4 acid elements – all carbohydrates.

After stripping the flour, it is then bleached to give it that pure white like appeal.

My grandmother used to bake bread on the farm – two slices of that bread would fill me up for half of the day. I now eat at least 6 slices and still feel hungry @ the end.

Hey Jack, looks like as usual your response if off topic. Anything to say about bread? These threads are open for 5 days. I find it difficult that you cannot find a way to respond to them in that allottment of time.

Stephen Holshouser: “Do you believe that your original ancestor was the first living organism?” Stephen, could you clearly define what you mean by ‘living’? For example are viruses alive? “Although I would bet that there are very, very few atheists of average means who give anything at all to charity, why would they?” What are you basing your wager on? Go ahead and make that bet with me, because you’ll lose it (Give your losing wager to the charity of your choice). I know dozens of atheists who give regularly to charity – me, my wife, my brother, my work colleagues, my friends… “Why would they?” Are you judging them by your own standards? Or do you just mean you can’t understand why someone would help another person unless they believed they would get a reward for it in heaven. Or some other reason? I’m just asking. If that’s your motivation for helping others, then it’s not really charity. Why not simply ask why I help others, rather than rely on cynical prejudice. No skin off Gates’ back to give billions to charity? Well it would be no skin off the back off many large religions to give away their billions, but they still don’t do it. Come back to me when the Vatican sells of its gold toilets.

JP Minnaar wrote: “The 16 organic elements come in two forms acid & alkaline. 12 of the elements are alkaline (like iron, calcium, magensiam and potassium). The other 4 elemts are carbohydrates ( like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen).” JP, I take it you did not study chemistry at school otherwise you would know that iron, calcium, magensiam (sic) and potassium are metals and, by definition, are not alkaline. Furthermore, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are not carbohydrates but elements. Only the first three are combined together within a carbohydrate. Indeed, that is what “carbohydrate” means. Carbohydates do not contain nitrogen. Lastly, there is no such thing as an “organic” element. “White flour is made by stripping most of the twelve alkaline elements from the wheat grain, thus leaving the white flour with only the 4 acid elements all carbohydrates.” What?

andrew Ryan, What do I mean by “living?” I’ll go with whatever you consider to be living. So, the first thing that you considered to be living, what did that come from? What am I basing my wager on? The polls, stats, experience, common sense, reality. If you and your wife give, then you would be one of the few, as I said there would be some that do. I don’t expect you to answer this except to yourself; Would I be right in saying you give less than 2% of your annual income? (don’t count paying your taxes!) This is from ABC News in 2006 with John Stossel: “ …the single biggest predictor of whether someone will be charitable is their religious participation. Religious people are more likely to give to charity, and when they give, they give more money: four times as much. And Arthur Brooks told me that giving goes beyond their own religious organization: “Actually, the truth is that they’re giving to more than their churches,” he says. “The religious Americans are more likely to give to every kind of cause and charity, including explicitly non-religious charities.”

andrew Ryan, You are right; if you are giving just to get back something from God in this life or the next, it is a selfish reason. But it is still true what Jesus said (as always), “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Your motivation for giving is the key. The Vatican has golden toilets? I’m sure they must have a good reason… surely you wouldn’t expect the Pope to have to use anything less, would you?

Don’t get used to this because I don’t think it is going to happen too often but I have to agree with you in your analysis of JP’s post, it didn’t make a lot of sense.

Jack,

Why would Stephen be kicking himself for using the term ‘life from non-life’? Pasteur’s use of the phrase is irrelevant, life exists now and at some point in the past it didn’t. We have to be able to explain the progression: no life… no life… no life… LIFE!!!

Take all the chemicals that make up the simplest lifeform and mix them together in a container. I can guarantee you that they will not form life! You may have a problem with calling this mixture (or any similar mixture) non-life , but that is exactly what it is!

Stephen, you think a gold toilet for the Pope is more important than all the kids’ lives you could save by selling the gold? I don’t know what to say to you – and you said it was no skin off Gates’ back to donate billions!

And no – you give me YOUR definition of living. For me, there IS no fixed point when life magically began. It was a continuum.

Do the charity stats you cite include tithing, paying priests wages, sending bibles to flood victims? Cos I don’t see them as charity. Tithing is just the church’s equivalent to taxes, which you say don’t count either.

What do you make of the stats clearly showing Christians are far more likely to commit crimes than atheists? How does that fit into your common sense?

Thanks again for showcasing your ignorance in an attempt to make other look silly. You’re always good for a laugh. I hope I didn’t go too far over your head. I certainly tried to dumb it down as much as possible.

Geno answers: Pure fabrication.

In fact, the Papal apartment was recently remodeled for the first time since 1964. Here is what was said about conditions before the remodelling:

—– begin quote —— Electrical wiring was replaced, new pipes were installed, the kitchen was refurbished …..The floors were the original 16th-century marble slabs and inlay, restored to their original luster…..The renovation, the workman related, was long overdue. The architects said they were surprised at the poor state of the apartment.

For one thing, the electrical system was not up to code. Some rooms still used old 125-volt electrical outlets, which were phased out years ago in Italy in favor of 220 volts. The water pipes were encrusted with rust and lime, and the heating system was approximate at best.

Above the false ceiling, workers discovered big drums placed strategically to catch the leaks from the roof; some were nearly full of water. …..

Polish film director Krzysztof Zanussi, a friend of the late pope, once said he was astonished at the gloominess of the place, with its outmoded furnishings and lack of lighting. (Source: Catholic News Jan 6, 2008) —— end quote ——

Geno resumes: I can just see it now…. “I have an electrical system that could electrocute me, pipes that are rusting away, no heat, a roof that leaks so badly that I use barrels to catch the rain, and paint peeling off the walls, but I have gold toilet seats.”

John Bebbington. Yes, i agree. i also thought the same thing about simple things like iron, how can it be a alkeline. i got this from a christian magazine. I read the blogs on cse quite often for answers on questions. Don’t have a higher education(again you are right). So thank you for pointing it out. This was a realy weak argument i made. Sorry.

Mark James said: “Hi John, Don’t get used to this because I don’t think it is going to happen too often but I have to agree with you in your analysis of JP’s post, it didn’t make a lot of sense.”

Hi Mark, Why would you not agree with good science? Have you been educated otherwise?

“Take all the chemicals that make up the simplest lifeform and mix them together in a container. I can guarantee you that they will not form life! You may have a problem with calling this mixture (or any similar mixture) non-life , but that is exactly what it is!”

What a silly argument. No-one except YECists are suggesting that life came about in such fashion. Mark, you really need to catch up on the literature just to discover how out of touch your beliefs are.

Just because you cannot comprehend how simple chemical processes under specific physical conditions might result in complex, self-replicating molecules doesn’t mean others can’t. You are like a blind, deaf man at the back of a deep, dark cave refusing to accept the concept of a rainbow.

Sorry to all that this is off topic. I was just minding my own business talking about bread, but felt I should respond to these posts directed at me.

Jack Snapper,

Thanks for putting me in my place… it almost seemed like you dodged the question, but I’m sure the answer was just over my head.

Actually, if you had a good answer you would have given it. The problem with atheistic evolution’s view on the origin of life is that it is so easy to disprove, it always looks like a strawman, not matter what evolutionist explains it, so I guess I can’t blame you for avoiding the question of what life came from. In fact, I think the only reason you originally objected to the phrase “life from non-life” is because it so simply, yet precisely reveals what you believe. Don’t get mad at us because your theory is lame. If you don’t like the criticism, come up with a viable theory, but until then, you own “life from non-life.”

“Heck I could believe they were all poofed into being despite evidence showing how it actually happened.”

Do you mean if there actually was any evidence? Based on science and common sense, life CANNOT come from non-life by natural means. It had to be created willfully and purposefully by God, fully formed and functioning from the very beginning, or life could not be. As you suggested I look up, one definition of a biological, living organism is something that undergoes metabolism, maintains homeostasis, responds to stimuli. Remove ANY of these advanced, complex functions and you get nothing but disorder that will NEVER become order by itself or by natural processes (see Mark James’ post, despite John Bebbington’s unproven, imaginary hopeful wish that it isn’t true). I think if you, Jack, will consider the vast complexity of even the most simple, reproducible life form, you will see the necessity of the Creator God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

May the Lord bless you. I actually do get a laugh from your sarcastic humor, even when directed at me (though I believe what we are talking about is very serious).

I was just kidding about the golden Pope toilet thing… lighten up! Besides, Geno said it isn’t true.

See my response to Jack about the origin of life. But if you believe life is a continuum, then tell me when death began.

The ABC news report I posted said religious folks even give more to non-religious charities than atheists. So you can leave out tithing to a church altogether and we’re still more generous.

Regarding crimes; I don’t doubt that there are scores of people who call themselves Christians who commit crimes. The Bible is clear that there are, were and will be many people who name the name of Christ who are as much or more a child of the Devil as the person who doesn’t believe in God at all (Matt 7:21-27). Do you concede that if anyone, even a true Christian, is committing a crime that they are not following the Bible? (Romans 13)

You said: “Hi Mark, Why would you not agree with good science? Have you been educated otherwise?”

When it is ‘good science’ I am more than happy to agree. Unfortunately your definition of ‘good science’ and my definition of ‘good science’ seem to be very different on this blog, which means we are unlikely to agree with each other very often (which was the point of my original post).

You wrote: “What a silly argument. No-one except YECists are suggesting that life came about in such fashion.”

If you go back and read my post you willl see that my point was actually to explain to Jack that, if all the chemicals for life are present but not alive, the use of the term ‘non-life’ is more than valid.

You also wrote: “Just because you cannot comprehend how simple chemical processes under specific physical conditions MIGHT result in complex, self-replicating molecules doesn’t mean others can’t.” (emphasis added by me)

This is where our definitions of good science diverge. My definition does not allow for the word ‘might’. You can believe something has happened if you want to but, as many naysayers on this blog like to point out, beliefs are not science.

And, if you replace ‘might’ with ‘might not’ in your post, you too end up at the back of the cave, with your white stick and hearing aid, debating the existence of rainbows.

Hi, I am fourteen, and ever since I have been watching the Creation Today Show, I have been able to tell my friends why the evolution side is wrong, and to give them facts against it. I am a strong believer in Christ and I go to a Calvary Chapel Bible College in Italy. Thank you for all you have done. Praying for you!

I go to a community college. I ran into your ministry because in archaeology, they were teaching about radio carbon dating and to be honest, I started questioning the Bible, specifically Genesis.

I did a YouTube search and found your ministry. Wow! It was literally a life-changing moment. Thank you for being confident in God’s Word and never backing down on that. Never give up preaching God’s truth!

I have been a Christian a long while, but something through your teaching just broke me — maybe broke my pride. I made a commitment to lay down my life and stop trying to live in my strength. I finally realized how amazingly awesome our God is, and how deserving He is of all our worship. He is the sole source of our faith and the only means of our justification. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

A dear 74 year old saint of God, James, went home to Heaven in July. James watched some of our resources, and as a result, he trusted Christ as Savior. James was a janitor at a church. In his will, he named Creation Today as one of eight ministries to which he wanted his earthly belongings to go. How humbling it was to speak to his sister who called us to say that it wouldn’t be a lot of money, but that it was very important to her brother Jimmy that this donation be completed to Creation Today. Praise the Lord! Jimmy finished his race and is now with Jesus!

A widow of 73 years of age named Mary feels called to a specific mission field. This dear saint of God has used her Social Security to buy two duplication towers to duplicate The Creation Seminar. She said her mission field is the state of Oklahoma. She has determined in her heart to reach that state for Jesus with creation resources!
